[QUOTE="Star*, post: 73855, member: 4964"] clothespins for him, earplugs (seriously) for you. I had a little chatterbox for a while, but evil Adderal was not helping. And the fact that he is narcassistic and belived what HE had to say was more important than breathing. I swear I thought the kid inhaled air rectally. Seemed he NEVER took a breath. Try setting up times for him when he has "THE STAGE". Hang sheets from the ceiling, and let him "come out" on stage to hear what you and husband are going to listen to for 15 minutes a night. Let him prepare "THE NEWS" and you and husband promise to not answer the phone, or door and give him 100% cooperation and attention during HIS news cast. Take notes too if it helps. Tell him what he has to say is interesting and maybe record it, then get a rewritable DVD and let him watch himself after his broadcast. BUT......
